Brabus 5.8

This guy that I met via Cl imports many rare Mercedes vehicles from Japan. He emailed me a few pics of his friends S Class Brabus 5.8 that just arrived from Japan. Vehicle has a mere 67K Kms. What a gorgeous motor!

those red valve covers look wonderful. I should have gone with red instead of silver.

A few minutes of yard work with a leaf blower might help the sale in that craigslist post. You would think a rare car priced at a premium deserves as much.

The Brabus that I posted pics of auctioned for $15K CAD landed and it needs some costly suspension work done.

Why not just upgrade to coil overs. I know they make a set for the CL and those will fit the S. A lot cheaper than fixing the suspension on these and the car will handle a million times better

I'm guessing that's what his friend intends on doing. Not a bad price for an expensive Brabus edition. There's so many nice cars with low mileage on Japanese auction sites. Makes me wonder why more people don't import them. The speedos are in Kms. just like Canada and over 90% are left hand drive.
